Tanjung Priok CIF
Worked CIF + landed-cost example moved to /pln-readiness (Tanjung Priok worked CIF panel) — the older arithmetic carried on this page omitted PPh22 Pasal 22 Impor 2.5 % (API-U) / 7.5 % (non-API) per PMK 41/2022 and understated landed cost by ~ 15 %. The new panel cites BTKI 2022 HS code, ACFTA Form E preference, BM 5 % or 0 %, VAT 11 %, PPh22, PPJK fee, and storage / demurrage windows explicitly.
